Alt+Tab does not change between apps/windows like Windows did.
A quick Alt+Tab should change to the *previous* app/window, so it is useful to swap between 2 apps you are currently using. Like, let's say, switching between Phothoshop and an image viewer *and back*, or doing drag&drop between Explorer/Total Commander and a Browser to upload files *and back*.
I don't find the current behavior of always going to the next window useful.
This should at least be an option...

Just updated DF and came here looking for this. Something happened to alt-tab, instead of flipping between two apps which is what I use alt-tab for 99% of the time, it now cycles through all the apps/windows, meaning I have to activily focus on what the alt-tab is showing instead of just "reflex-using" it.
Bug, or a new "feature"? Possible to make this optional?

We have this on our list to fix up, we'll post here if we have anything further.
Thanks!
We've released a new beta that should have this fixed up.
Thanks!

I'm sick of the Alt+Tab feature working so bad. It is not fluid like Windows or alternatives like VistaSwitcher. You drag a file and press Alt+Tab and instead of switching to the app when you release the keys... the Alt+Tab window displaying the apps keeps fixed on top until you click something with the mouse... 🤦
That totally *breaks* the file drag + Alt+Tab functionality, which has been a staple of Windows for ages...
Back to VistaSwitcher again... it is a bit ugly but *it works*. It is amazing how a 2012 tiny freeware app can work so much better than 2023 paid software...
